She’s 51 and looks like she’s in her 30s naturally, with no cosmetic intervention other than make up IMHO. How?!

She’s clearly full of botox at the very least. She no doubt has a great dermatologist. She does look lovely. I think her hair style helps her look youthful.

Peppafrig · 05/12/2020 21:01

Op you really think she hasn’t had any work done seriously. Of course she has and must pay well for it too as it’s done so well .

Lavenderfieldsofprovence · 05/12/2020 21:01

@user1471462428

She’s beautiful but the outfit they put her and Claudia in are horrendous. Half her dress was missing tonight and Claudia looked like £50 Cher impersonator in a empty night club.
I wish they’d get rid of both of them. The pair of them are incredibly wooden and unfunny.

If you’re betting top tier work done then it’s more subtle and natural. You’re more likely to notice a dodgy filler or facelift if they’re done badly because they won’t look natural, whereas the good stuff will be more seamless.

If I was married to a man like that I’d keep myself looking fit too.
I'd divorce him!

I sincerely hope your own husband never reads that Grin

I judge her on her presenting skills what she is being paid for, not her looks. She is utterly crap.

I’d divorce him for sexting and upgrade to a better model

FMyUterus · 05/12/2020 21:13

Botox

Givemeabreakpls · 05/12/2020 21:14

I could swear her hair is a wig? A very very good one, but still a wig. There are few flyaways and when she bent her head tonight only the front moved. She’s bloody gorgeous though, whatever her secret.

Absolutely correct.

I cannot get over that she has such a prime time gig when she is so utterly wooden and can barely read the autocue. How lucky was she that the BBC were too lazy to look for a decent replacement when Brucie retired.
Oh, she’ll do....

Youthful smile.

myhumps123 · 05/12/2020 21:18

I saw her up close around 2006 when she opened a new shopping centre. Her face looked very harsh, cold, as in unfriendly, and had quite a few lines. She definitely does not look like she is her 30s, she looks at least 45 years old who looks good for her age..

itispersonal · 05/12/2020 21:19

Vernon Kay is a similar age (46) and doesn't look it at all either.
Good surgeons, good life or just good (model) genes.
Thinking Nicole Kidman is 53 and has so many comments about her altered looks through surgery, as many others do!

Tropicana218 · 05/12/2020 21:20

Gwen Stefani is also 51 but could easily pass for 30, she looks amazing !

BungleandGeorge · 05/12/2020 21:21

She is a terrible presenter, I have to turn her off..

Thefirstnohell · 05/12/2020 21:22

To be fair her presenting skills have improved enormously since she started. She doesn't stumble over her words as much as used to. She's not the most skilled ad-libber of all time but she does a professional job I think given that it's probably a hell of a lot harder than it looks. I would love her figure too!

WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo · 05/12/2020 21:24

My mum and sister were / are the same.

My mum had really good skin and drummed it into us from a young age to take care of it. (( She certainly didn't have work done, she could barely afford the roof over her head..let alone Botox ))

My sister listened, nothing exciting just sunscreen, Nivea and plenty of water. She's 50 now and doesn't have a line on her face......most people put her in her 30s.

I didn't bother and whilst I don't have any lines yet as I edge very near to 40 I'm not as fresh faced as my sister is. If I bothered to make the effort I could probably improve the dry spots etc.

myhumps123 · 05/12/2020 21:27

@Tropicana218 I disagree about Gwen stefeni. Her face looks very odd and somewhat plastic. She reminds me of a stepford wife.
I much prefer the likes of Davina mccall, she looks healthy,fresh and natural. Nothing wrong with a few wrinkles.

Blondiney · 05/12/2020 21:28

Big cheekbones and big jaw, the same as 99% of other 'beautiful' celebs. They have the scaffolding in place already thanks to their fortuitous genes, anything other interventions are just icing on the cake.

Tropicana218 · 05/12/2020 21:29

Davina has a great six pack !

Crunched · 05/12/2020 21:31

I think Tess has a very un-expressive face and I think this contributes to less wrinkles.
So, with some subtle work, her age is hard to define.
